We have four current members confirming service, and five prospects. There is also the matter of our treasurer/, the status of whom is something for the prez to remark on.

You can have 2 “seatings”.

11 am to 12 noon PST for Board business & elections.

1 pm to 2 pm PST for non-Board business.

The normal conference line we use doesn’t have an arbitrary limit to number of attendees. However more that 10 people on the line requires really good meeting disipline …

Hey Art I have thought it over and I am NOT going to throw my hat in the ring, Sounds like you have enough participation.

True Terry, we do have plenty of participation…yeah…ten people can handle everything, right? Uh no, but not everyone needs to be a director. I sure don’t. We do need buttkickers to take part in or run workgroups. There is no need for the people making good decisions or doing real work for and by OEMR to be members of the board. In fact, that is rarely the case in any corporate stucture, even in a non-profit. In our case, the board does need to get to work too.
I’ll just keep you on speed dial…

The Bylaws cannot be written in detail, the Rules and Regulations need to be created. That is how we do it in our HOA. To change the Bylaws will be expensive.

There are as many different ways to do this as there are organizations… :slight_smile: Deciding how to decide is the first order of business and the hardest.
